Good idea or not

I currently dropped on Tanabe springs. I am satisfied with the front, but the rear is a tad to low for my liking. One side is slightly more lower than the other. I was thinking of leaving the front springs and swapping out the rear sprints for rear tanabe coilovers? Is this a sound option? Expense is a consideration; hence the reason not wanting to swap out the fronts.

Is your G RWD? If so I'd look in to Tein BasisZ coilovers, this newest version is no longer serviceable (shocks able to send to factory for rebuilding) so the price has dropped quite a bit, sets for under $500 shipped have been reported.
Here's one example, it doesn't list current G sedans but it fits them as well

Yes it's RWD. that link you provided has the min drop in front as 1.4. Lower than my current front drop on tanabes.

That's in the recommended range but the whole adjustment range is quite a bit more, here's the list, you would have room to go higher for sure, and just a little higher won't be a problem

You might shoot a pm to 4DRZ and see what he says as far as height range.

Also you could just use the rears and keep your front springs, that's what Rochester has w/ Swifts in front and Tein coils in back.
